Two Keys : Sutton United

If you have even the vaguest interest in football, you’ll know that Sutton United meet Arsenal in the 5th round of the FA Cup this evening. Sutton United are based a couple of miles from my home, and over the weekend I responded to a suggestion to make an extra free art drop to commemorate the occasion. Inspiration took a while to strike, and as I sat staring at the club crest, it finally hit me.

I chose to reference the two keys and the gold and silver discs on which they are placed.

Tools at the ready, I began to draw. Ink and paint flowed, gold and silver leaf was pasted. As you can see I made two versions of the art work – and these will be placed somewhere in Sutton later today. Finders keepers.

Winter Ice

I am continuing to adapt the elemental art idea. I recently blogged about Autumn Fire, and this new collection, titled Winter Ice – is a variation on that theme. I painted these images overlaying various shades of acrylic paint, finished with silver leaf.

Winter Ice : I and II are sold. Winter Ice : III was left as a piece of free art in Reykjavik.
